On Friday, March 27, Carleton will welcome the Director-General for Education and Culture of the European Commission, Xavier Prats Monné, for a special session entitled Embracing the Digital Revolution.

The second decade of the new millennium has heralded a seismic shift in higher education, driven by globalization, the digital revolution, and the rising power of information driven consumerism across the globe. The lines between our campuses and wider communities are less distinct and technology is enabling new teaching and learning paradigms.

This presentation will explore how individual universities, university consortia and a massive EU higher education system are embracing the digital revolution and globalization.
